Today, Tuesday 7 March 2017, WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Code-named "Vault 7" by WikiLeaks, it is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.
The first full part of the series, "Year Zero", comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election.
Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive.
"Year Zero" introduces the scope and direction of the CIA's global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of "zero day" weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.
Since 2001 the CIA has gained political and budgetary preeminence over the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The CIA found itself building not just its now infamous drone fleet, but a very different type of covert, globe-spanning force — its own substantial fleet of hackers. The agency's...

Ha Ha, this can’t be true, sounds like a bunch of Alex Jones conspiracy crap

Wait what?
Well, I doubt that’s the way it works. I think the U.S intelligence services ‘procure’ the tools as they discover them and the hacker behind it.
I have doubts about our cyber security team and doubts that the behemoth of bureaucracy is cable of development such tools.
Take stuxnet for example. The virus that took out millions of dollars worth of equipment the Iranians were using to develop nuclear materials and technology was largely believed to have been written by the U.S cyber command — probably wasn’t. It was probably written for the U.S by Siemens and arranged by the German Intelligence with the blessings of both administrations.
Years ago, all the ECHELON stuff was about surveillance of satellite communications.
Is the acting director trustworthy or is he just a Obama hack too?
Is this Steve Bannon tweet real?
Sounds more like it went out the door on CD-ROM discs, USB drives or other removable media.
“This is so bad, CIA creates hacking tools that probably are cutting edge. But their management and security sucks so bad they lose the tools to who knows who, and ultimately to Wikileaks.
Who’s faults is this? Wikileaks?? No It’s the CIA’s fault, 100%.”
This is what happens when your spy agencies are run by political appointees selected on the basis of identity politics and leftist/globalist/muslim ideology and then ordered to focus on green light bulbs and such rather than mundane matters such as security of the family jewels.
Or possibly GIVING his nuclear weapons to hostile nations or individuals If done intentionally, TREASON!!!!!!!
I think it’s from Facebook, not twitter.
CIA 1 - “We lost what?”
CIA 2 - “Our entire hacking arsenal.”
CIA 1 - “Haha, good one what really happened?”
CIA 2 - “We lost our entire hacking arsenal.”
CIA 1 - o_O

Need a link for that; is it from the wikileaks?
Hacked Samsung TVs?
George Orwell was way ahead in “1984” with the telescreens that were watching you.
Its now on the British BBC front page.
Yep.
My Grandpa told me back in the 60s, “If you can watch them, they can watch you.”
Wow, CIA got hold of Russian malware, allowing CIA to hack and make it look like the Russians did it.
So Obama got a twofer: hack Hillary’s server and get the whole Russians-hacking-the-election meme going for justification of surveillance on Trump, AND get all the dirt on Hillary to blackmail me her as POTUS, essentially giving Obama a third term.
Wasn’t CIA tasked with foreign spying, not domestic?
So, how many players are now actively undermining each other?
CIA, FBI, Obama and his OFA (or what I like to call offal), NSA? Who owns which congressman? Which elected official is actively involved in which power plot?
What is left of this Republic at this point?
The Russians did just this, typewriters, for its most secure comms.
